What are your favorite leftist news sources?
Looking to compile a list of good leftist news sites and sources. Thank you.
Mother Jones.
WMNF radio
Left Coast Right Watch.
So I've not visited some of these for a while, and I know some have issues (like swinging in to either liberal or tankie territory), so I'm not guaranteeing they're all perfect, but these are the news sites I have saved to my bookmarks:
Reality, for one.
I like The Majority Report, The Serf Times, Egberto Willies is good, Status Coup.
Here's some fave websites I like:
The Intercept,
Jacobin,
World Socialist Website,
Socialist Alternative,
Its Going Down,
Common Dreams,
Lib Com,
Democracy Now,
Vox ,
Huff Post,
Counterpunch,
In These Times,
Dissent Magazine,
Labor Notes,
and the newest one I like is The Lever.
These are some with RSS feeds. Some are news, most are deeper analyses.

I'll leave this here. Good resource for evaluating news sources as you come across them also.
Democracy Now. Really ought to watch more often.
Some More News
The Wire India, Caravan, Swaddle, Newslaundry, etc are some of the few legitimate news media in India. The rest of them shill for either capitalist kool-aid (usually, liberal media like ThePrint or ScoopWhoop) or Modi (proto-fascist brainlets like Republic TV, Essel Media-related subsidiaries, like Zee).
I like to listen to the Muckrake podcast for analysis of recent events.
Ground news. Not left but ranks articles based on viewers and the Cradle has become a great source.
Late stage live is a comedy new channel that feels like older daily show episodes.
SBS Australia
It's really hard to list any news sources that I don't read with a few kilos of salt. DN! seems one of the more trustworthy, and Amy Goodman makes it work on a very slim budget; and for that reason, she's simply not able to cover everything, and maybe that's good, because it gives us time to really think about what they publish. I can tell you the only reason I miss TV is for local coverage, and even then, it's also best taken with a few kilos of salt.
I have a problem with the basic terms of political alignment. Every political view is placed on a line between far left and far right, and centrist views are in constant flux. This seems to foster devotion over unity.
We need a set of 3 dimensional terms because the 1 dimensional "left/right" terms are to simplistic. Perfectly reasonable ideas that essentially everyone would support become points of division purely because those ideas are strongly aligned to either the left or right.
I strongly believe the next evolutionary step we must take is to re-engineer politics and government. Freedom, shared resources, reasonable controls, balanced towards the needs of the public, all seem like dreams right now. Fuck knows how we get there without bloodshed, but get there we must.
Just use Ground news and stop consuming bias
